I am a single parent by choice rather than because I got a divorce or left a relationship. A little over nine years ago my twin sister passed away leaving behind her children. I did not take all of her children however I took one of her children. My son is nine and a half now and he sees his siblings often. I opted to take him because he needed atleast a mother and at the time he lacked either a mother or a father so even though being a single parent is the world's most difficult job it is also the most important job in the world.
